Changes: Kirby Wiki:Requests for adminship

Revision as of 16:33, 4 February 2017

This is the page for requesting adminship for Kirby Wiki.

Shortcuts KW:RfA

Rules

Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.
Selections of sysops are not a simple vote count, or majority opinion. Users who wish to be promoted should demonstrate a steady commitment to this wiki, and be able to point to reasons that the sysop tools would allow them to do better editing and make this wiki a better place.
When supporting or opposing a candidate, give good reasons. Comments that describe in detail why the candidate should(n't) become a sysop carry far more weight than simple support/oppose. Also, support comments that reference only edit count carry almost no weight in the selection process.
Rollback status is not required for a successful RfA, but is highly encouraged. However, users who only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be refused and directed towards the appropriate request.
Upon request, a prospective sysop may be given a scenario and asked his/her opinion on how (s)he would handle it.
If a user has been blocked for any reason (except for an IP auto-block or wrong button click), (s)he must wait a period of at least four months from the expiry of his/her ban until (s)he may even be considered for adminship. Even after this time period has passed, the user should be prepared to answer questions about his/her block.
For users that have had previous unsuccessful RfAs and are planning to open a new one, consider the reasons that the previous nominations failed. Has anything changed about you that would make a new nomination successful?

-Hello. You'll have to forgive me if this seems informal, but I'd like to be an admin. While I haven't been doing any massive edits lately, I did when I initially started editing here and about a few months ago when working on a project that involved getting screenshots from ''Kirby: 64''. I've run into many vandals in the past that did some hefty damage before active admins could get to them. Considering the fact that I frequently check up on the Activity Page, I strongly feel that I could prevent further accidents from ever happening. I'm not the best at coding and sometimes I make minor editing mistakes; that's understandable, we're all only human anyway, and I'm sure we've all been in the same situation.
-The main reason I'm doing this is because of the lack of active admins, lately. They all have their own reasons, and I don't blame them. There's going to be a day when I'm in their position, leaving the Wikia. But until that day, I want to continue helping as much as I possibly can. Thank you for reading. --[[User:Meta Kirby52|<span style="color: gray; font-weight: bold;">Meta Kirby52</span>]] [[File:Kake-1-.png|Created by NerdyBoutKirby]] [[User_talk:Meta Kirby52|<span style="color: hotpink; font-weight: bold;">It's all ''mine''! </span>]] 01:41, May 23, 2014 (UTC)

-#MetaKirby would be a great admin. It seems to me like he checks the wiki regularly for vandalism and improves. He is also a 2 year veteran, meaning that he has the experience to become what I believe would be a good admin. -Paul2 [[User:Paul2|Doos Rock! -Therater2]] ([[User talk:Paul2|talk]])
-#Still a bit inexperienced in certain areas, but I'm confident that you'll improve with time. As it stands, you've demonstrated enough of a work ethic and reliability to earn a promotion. Just don't let the sudden power surge go to your head, 'k? ;) [[User:NerdyBoutKirby|<span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">NerdyBoutKirby</span>]] [[File:X-Naut.png|30px|link=http://www.mariowiki.com/Paper_Mario:_The_Thousand-Year_Door|I mean, sir?
